GOOGLE CODE
Google Code is Google's site for
developer tools, APIs and technical resources. The site contains documentation
on using Google developer tools and APIs—including discussion
groups and blogs for developers using Google's developer products.
The site contains reference information for community
based developer products that Google is involved with like Android from the Open
Handset Alliance and OpenSocial
from the OpenSocial Foundation.
Google closed a lot of useful services to focus on
Google+ and other core offerings. One of the best services that was recently
shut down is Code Search, a search engine for open source code.
Ajax
APIs
Google's
Ajax APIs let a developer implement rich, dynamic websites entirely in JavaScript
and HTML. A developer can create a map to a site, a dynamic search box, or
download feeds with just a few lines of JavaScript.
Ads
APIs
The AdSense
and AdWords
APIs, based on the SOAP
data exchange standard, allow developers to integrate their own applications
with these Google services. The AdSense API allows owners of websites and blogs to manage
AdSense sign-up, content and reporting, while the AdWords API gives AdWords
customers programmatic access to their AdWords accounts and campaigns.
Gears
Gears
was beta
software offered by Google
to enable offline
access to services that normally only work online. It installed a
database engine, based on SQLite,
on the client system to cache data locally. Gears-enabled pages used data from
this local cache rather than from the online service. Using Gears, a web
application may periodically synchronize the data in the local cache with the
online service. If a network connection is not available, the synchronization
is deferred until a network connection is established. Thus Gears enabled web
applications to work even though access to the network service is not present. Gears
is currently discontinued.
